Peter Jackson - Best HW in the world from 88-92?

what do you think during these 5 years I can't think of any active HW who should rank above Jackson.

At the start of 88 Sullivan had had his draw with Mitchell and then for all intents and purposes retired. shortly after this Jackson and Godfrey fought for the "coloured championship" with Peter coming out on top.

Up until 92 his opposition level was, by my reckoning, much better than anyone elses around and that includes fighters from both sides of the colour line.

in 92 he knocked out slavin but shortly after corbett knocked out sullivan to usurp Pete's claim.

so what do you think, should history remember this period as being that of Peter Jackson's?

 

Perhaps so and maybe his draw with mitchell confirms that theory but I suspect had mitchell stopped sullivan that night he'd have been regarded as the premiere hw himself.

What are your thoughts on my consideration that corbett overtook jackson in 92?

In my experience jackson is probably the most underrated hw in history and that's even more so than gentleman jim.

I think in terms of greatness within an era, jackson has to be considered above jeanette and mcvey and until just recently i'd never considered that to be the case.

But in terms of true hw champions in the purest sense of being the top dog in the division I think jackson definitely has his place. I'm just trying to get a more concrete idea.
